The second trio with no doubts, but sooner or later the Genesis fanboys will arrive

Just like the last one, I'm a fan of Genesis and Yes but not quite as keen on the bands accompanying them. However, Yes > Genesis, so #2 it is.

This was a really tough one. Genesis are probably my favourite of the "Big 5", but not much more than Yes. I really like Porcupine Tree, they were one of the best modern Prog acts but Marillion are my favourite band. I don't much care for Magma or Can, but if I'd have to choose it would be Magma.

Second option for me.

And another.

----------------------------------------------------------------

I'm voting for the first. Can and Magma are my favourite bands in the list, and are two essential to me bands, but I find myself listening to a little more Can than Magma these days. Magma was love at first listen ("(Iss) Lansei Doia" is what hooked me), but Can took a while for me to appreciate.

Also, I've been more into Genesis than Yes (though early Yes is nice). I don't play Marillion or Porcupine Tree, but I have rather liked early PT.

^ Just about the same for me. Instead of Can and Magma being essential bands, Yes and Genesis take that spot. I like Genesis more than Yes and I listen to Can a lot more than Magma, which I have yet to really get into. And I don't like Porcupine Tree nor do I like Marillion, they just aren't my thing. Therefore, choice 1 easily wins.

Genesis=Marillion
Yes>PT
Can=Magma (I hate both equally)

So option 2, just.

Oy. Idk.

All but Magma have parts of their discog that are not good. I guess option 1, but it's close.

Incredible. Before I voted earlier, it was 1:12, now it's 12:12. (Unless my short term memory fools me, which may well be given that somebody in the meantime wrote that they went for Team 2.)

No, it's the PT fanboys (like myself) you needed to worry about Smile

Tough one but I went for Yes/Marillion/Magma. I do not like Can or Magma, but overall Yes and Marillion are stronger.
A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!
